plug detection of the connected SATA device. (Default: Disabled)
Port4 as ESP &
This option is congurable only when OnChip SATA Type is set to AHCI and OnChip SATA Type Port4
is set to As SATA Type. Enabled will speed up the hot plug detection of the connected SATA device.
(Default: Disabled)
Onboard LAN Function &
Enables or disables the onboard LAN function. (Default: Enabled) If you wish to install a 3rd party add-in
network card instead of using the onboard LAN, set this item to Disabled.
Onboard LAN Boot ROM &
Allows you to decide whether to activate the boot ROM integrated with the onboard LAN chip.
(Default: Disabled)
This motherboard incorporates cable diagnostic feature designed to detect the status of the attached LAN
cable. This feature will detect cabling issue and report the approximate distance to the fault or short. Refer to
the following information for diagnosing your LAN cable:
When No LAN Cable Is Attached... &
If no LAN cable is attached to the motherboard, the Status elds of all four pairs of wires will show Open
and the Length elds show 0m, as shown in the gure above.
When LAN Cable Is Functioning Normally... &
If no cable problem is detected on the LAN cable connected to a Gigabit hub or a 10/100 Mbps hub, the
following message will appear:
SMART LAN (LAN Cable Diagnostic Function) &

Link Detected --> 100Mbps
Cable Length= 30m
Link Detected Displays transmission speed.
Cable Length Displays the approximate length of the attached LAN cable.
Note: The Gigabit hub will only operate at a speed of 10/100 Mbps in MS-DOS mode; it will operate at a
normal speed of 10/100/1000 Mbps in Windows mode or when the LAN Boot ROM is activated.
When a Cable Problem Occurs... &
If a cable problem occurs on a specied pair of wires, the Status eld will show Short and then length
shown will be the approximate distance to the fault or short.
Example: Part1-2 Status = Short / Length = 2m
Explanation: A fault or short might occur at about 2m on Part 1-2.
Note: Part 4-5 and Part 7-8 are not used in a 10/100 Mbps environment, so their Status elds will show
Open, and the length shown is the approximate length of the attached LAN cable.
